Left leopoldi and Right is some type of hybrid I would say henlei/motoro but like DW said not pure henlei for sure. Also the other picture is hybrid as well. I don't even have to ask but you must be dealing with some seller from Asia for sure.....

What mike said......

This is a very interesting read, thanks turk

Anyway, mike's right, seller originates in Japan.

Funny looking pups I'd say, but we'll leave it at that.

Thanks everyone!

I would stay away from anything in Japan. Everything is washed out with all sorts of crosses.

maybe stop wasting your money with orders from over seas and buy your rays from mike? get the real deal first time around? and also before you consider anymore rays you ever get your tanks properly cycled?

and i agree the right one does not look to be pure henlei and the second post looks like a few SP ray pix i just recieved

Yea Nic... I'd love to get some from Mike.. its just that I got some other issues overseas that need to be settled as well...

And I do agree that it is a hybrid even though the parents might be leos..

Speaking about cycling my tank : I'm getting a 550 gal tank ... Do large tanks still require cycling ?? Or because of the large amount of water there wont be too much of a spike ?

Every time I read one of these threads part of me cringes. One thing I think people should take away is that it is really impossible to look at a single picture of a pup posted here and be able to know what it is!

The more hybridization takes place in the hobby, the more difficult this is going to get.

Still needs to be cycled.
